Greetings and best regards from City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow, India.
City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar II is enthused to invite you meet virtually, with less carbon footprints, and share ideas at the online version of the Virtual International Environment Olympiad. We request your gracious participation at the event which is scheduled to be held from 19th to 22nd January 2021. The IEO is a platform to instill and spread the firm resolve of preserving and protecting Nature for a prosperous and peaceful world. It is a celebration of the symbiotic bond between humans and Nature.
This academic session has not been the most normal. With all the disarray happening in the world due to COVID-19, many routines that seemed natural to us before this pandemic have now been thrown out of the natural balance. It is therefore important that we connect and invigorate each other.
We extend our invitation to all future friendly schools to participate in the virtual IEO and renew our promise that we are not separate from Nature.
We are extremely happy that CMS Gomti Nagar Campus II is organizing the International Environment Olympiad 2021 from 19-22 January 2020 where students of various countries of the world and various states of India will be participating...

We are extremely happy that CMS Gomti Nagar Campus II is organizing the International Environment Olympiad 2021 from 19-22 January 2020 where students of various countries of the world and various states of India will be participating. Your sincere and honest efforts are highly applauded as you are promoting and focusing on protection of environment which is essential for survival of living beings.
This event will inspire every body to take action that will protect the Earth and thus our lives. The ultimate goal of environment education is action - action for bringing improvement in environment, preventing its degradation and sustaining its well being. This Olympiad has been initiated with an aim to inspire younger generation to plant more and more trees.
City Montessori School has always been at the forefront in raising social issues. In keeping with its mission of 'Think Globally, Act Globally', the school strives to raise awareness and future generation realize its responsibility of preserving a healthy environment is essential for all species.
The aims of International Environment Olympiad (IEO) actually run parallel to the operations carried out by the United Nations. The Article 21 of the declaration issued at 1992 Rio de Janeiro environment conference organized by the U.N. emphasizes the importance of involvement of youth and international cooperation.
We wish CMS Gomti Nagar (Extension) campus a grand success in achieving the aim and goal of this Olympiad and congratulate them for organizing this highly meaningful highly meaningful event.

All good people and nations want to save the environment but the task seems so enormous, they wonder what to do and whether anything they may do individually will be effective. This confusion leads to a paralysis of will to act, especially since action requires sacrifice of consumption (of water and energy). Environmental inaction at the level of countries is also exacerbated by confusion (nuclear vs alternative energy sources; bio-fuels vs fossil-fuels) and by self-interest: lack of willingness to sacrifice national economic growth/international trade/goods-transfer/employment/living standards, to cut emissions in order to curb global warming.
Mr Roshan Gandhi Forouhi , Chief Executive Office, CMS, Lucknow
Environmental degradation is a silent problem which develops gradually and almost invisibly, and yet it is one of the greatest crises faced by the world today, posing an existential threat to life as we know it. Careless actions towards the environment lead not only to long-term, world-wide shocks such as the melting of the polar ice caps or global warming, but also to immediate health problems as we breathe in excessive pollution on a daily basis.
I am delighted that the Virtual International Environment Olympiad is taking place. It is only through awareness-raising, education, and action of this kind that we will be able to slow down the damaging effects of environmental degradation.
Ms Susmita Basu , Superior Principal & Head, Quality Assurance and Innovations Department CMS, Lucknow
‘No generation has a freehold on this Earth. All we have is life tenancy- with a full repairing lease’. These words have been very aptly said by Margaret Thatcher and define our temporary relationship with the natural environment.
Since the beginning of time, environment has helped us in establishing a relationship with the flora and fauna and has ultimately determined our formation and survival. Though natural resources are available in abundance they are being excessively exploited for our own selfish needs. Hence our dependence on natural resources has made it essential for us to take considerable measures to prevent the destruction and depletion of our natural resources.
I congratulate the entire staff of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Extension for conducting Virtual International Environment Olympiad – 2021 and wish a spectacular success for the meaningful event.
